Introduction The Housing Development Agency (HDA) is a national public development agency that promotes sustainable communities by making well-located land and buildings available for the development of human settlements. As its primary activity, the HDA assembles and releases state, private and communal land and buildings for development. In addition, the HDA provides project delivery support services to organs of state at local, provincial and national levels. In setting the agenda and asserting its role in the housing continuum, the HDA realised that there is a gap in the provision of accurate and easy-to-understand information regarding the property market, particularly in previously overlooked areas, including the mining towns. The development of this report is a result of this gap. It aims to explore and present an overview of the formal housing markets in Matjhabeng, Moqhaka, Merafong, Randfontein, Westonaria, Thabazimbi, Greater Tubatse, Elias Motsoaledi, Lephalale, Fetakgomo, eMalahleni, City of Matlosana, Mogale City, Ephraim Mogale, Steve Tshwete, Thaba Chweu, Tsantsabane, Ga-Sekgonyana, Gamagara, Kgetlengrivier, Madibeng, Moses Kotane and Rustenburg so as to change perceptions of affordable markets, and as such, expand and deliver affordable housing options within South Africa’s municipalities. The study was undertaken over a three-month period, relying mainly on the high level indicators developed by the Centre for Affordable Housing Finance in Africa. These indicators consider the market conditions, existing market size and activity, average prices and values, market growth and lending activity in the area to support a better understanding of the opportunity and the impact of various housing policy interventions. The indicators also highlight the range of opportunities across areas to stimulate the affordable housing market in South African municipalities. The methodology also included site visits to eMalahleni, Randfontein, Westonaria, and Rustenburg so as to confirm findings and to gain more insights about the current housing circumstances. The report is intended for use by all stakeholders involved in planning, including professionals in municipalities, Government officials, private sector, investors, developers and urban planners, for the mission of enticing a range of development options. The report does not address housing supply for the lowest income levels, but rather seeks to make the case for expanding the gap market in order to entice private sector engagement more effectively. 2.1 Report Contents The report covers the following aspects of housing markets through maps, charts and graphs to highlight understanding across the municipality and at the neighbourhood level, where housing markets function. 1. Housing Performance Profile – the pace of growth by suburb, on maps and in charts, as measured by the Housing Performance Index 2. Market Size – total number and distribution of residential properties, households, values and sales prices, key demographic indicators 3. Market Activity – properties, sales and new properties and resales over time 4. Lending Activity – sales and loans by lender 5. Affordability Profile – affordability based on local incomes, compared to sales price, housing gaps and affordability ratios 6. Leverage – the value of equity available for purchasing new homes 7. Rental Index – those areas most prime for quality, dense professionally managed rental housing 2.2 Definitions and Methodology For housing supply, title and deeds records were merged at the suburb level, mapped and ranked through the Citymark dashboard. Priority has been placed on actual transaction datasets from familiar sources that can be geocoded to the subplace level, trended over time and updated regularly. For housing demand, StatsSA data was applied as the most consistently collected, widely understood and most common source of demographic data in the country. 2 The Housing Development Agency | Thabazimbi Mining Town Housing Market Report 2.3 Benchmarks Benchmarks are indicators used to compare performance across areas and are valuable for understanding meaning. Each indicator was created at the local, municipal and national levels in order to measure performance within and across markets. These benchmarks also highlight areas or trends which are outperforming the overall market in certain ways and might be most receptive to a variety of new housing development options. 2.4 Site Visits As mentioned, the team conducted four site visits to eMalahleni, Randfontein, Westonaria, and Rustenburg. These visits provided the chance to confirm findings from the data and chat informally with residents about their current housing circumstances: where they had moved from; where they were currently living and how affordable it was; and where they were headed, including their ambitions and concerns. This helps to provide a sense of the housing continuum in the town – what choices residents feel empowered by, and what constraints keep them from realising their dreams and aspirations. Residents who were engaged came from informal settlements, brand new RDP homes, and a stalled RDP project, which had recently been reactivated by the city. Some of the key insights from these site visits were: •฀ Residents may not know exactly what their home might be worth, but they are very aware that their home has a value, which includes stability and security for themselves and a better future for their families •฀ Many residents use their homes to supplement their own income, including renting shacks and rooms and operating home-based businesses •฀ There might be a relationship between how the houses are handed over and the sense of ownership (as evidenced by improvements to the homes) •฀ Everyone we spoke to understood the importance of a title deed, that the title deed proved (secured) ownership, even if, in a few cases, they were not sure of its status or how to get one •฀ Most people mentioned a better future for their children as an integral part of the importance of homeownership •฀ Residents were aware that there is an acute shortage of housing opportunities and that despite having their homes, they were surrounded by others without adequate housing Many people understood housing markets around them intuitively — where the better houses were closer to jobs and transportation and what the barriers were — the price, the inconvenience and the cash required to access the houses. 2.5 Using this Report This report is intended to provide a high-level view of the mining town housing markets overall and by neighbourhood, within areas of particular interest, by measuring and comparing housing market performance amongst each other and with the municipality. This report highlights connections and implications from the findings that are of significant interest to the HDA. The report does not seek to understand why things are, but offers general ideas based on experience with housing markets and new learning about mining town housing markets from these reports. 3 The Housing Development Agency | Thabazimbi Mining Town Housing Market Report The report findings emphasise opportunity as opposed to risk or failure. Opportunities are defined as conditions or indicators within areas, which can show: •฀ The ways in which areas or markets are behaving positively (such as growing more quickly), or showing strength (such as stability and consistency) •฀ The ways

  • The Archaeology and Technology of Metal Production in the Late Iron Age of the Southern Waterberg, Limpopo Province, South Africa
    THE ARCHAEOLOGY AND TECHNOLOGY OF METAL PRODUCTION IN THE LATE IRON AGE OF THE SOUTHERN WATERBERG, LIMPOPO PROVINCE, SOUTH AFRICA Town Cape of UniversityFOREMAN BANDAMA Thesis Presented for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Archaeology UNIVERSITY OF CAPE TOWN November 2013 The copyright of this thesis vests in the author. No quotation from it or information derived from it is to be published without full acknowledgementTown of the source. The thesis is to be used for private study or non- commercial research purposes only. Cape Published by the University ofof Cape Town (UCT) in terms of the non-exclusive license granted to UCT by the author. University DEDICATION To our little princess, Princess Bandama Town Cape of University i | P a g e ABSTRACT The inception of metallurgy in southern Africa was relatively late, compared to other regions in Africa, and as a result, this part of the sub-continent was mistakenly thought to have been less innovative during the Iron Age. On the contrary, dedicated materials analyses are showing that starting from the terminal first millennium AD, southern Africa is replete with innovations that include the growth of state systems, specialised long-distance trading, the re-melting of glass beads, the working of ivory, and the weaving of cotton using ceramic spindle whorls. Additionally, the appearance of gold and tin production, against a background of on-going iron and copper metallurgy, has been interpreted by some as intimating innovation in metal technology. While some research energy has been invested into these novelties, there has only been incidental concern with the innovation in tin and bronze production.
